Plus they offer it in single & double side Mar-Guard scratch resistant materials. I don't have the card right w/me. They are in Cranberry, PA. Should be able to Google lean & the town to find them. See ya, Ken

Not interested in replacing the windshield or rear window. Being a sedan I can do the side glass and still look stock. From what I've read the lexan is 50% of the weight of glass.

This will be driven on the street. Can you use a standard automotive window tint on it? I was always told no, it gases, creates bubbles in tint. Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

It bubbled up like crazy before the end of the first race season. And if you remove it, good luck getting all of the bubble stains out of the plexi.
